Do you know SQL? Do you know how to write a SELECT statement?

Yes I Do know. I was trying with following code but somehow it is giving me error..I guess I am missing something here.

Private Sub Searchbtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Searchbtn.Click
' Dim
' Str = "Select * From Design_Parameters Where DesignID,ParameterName,ParameterValue="" & Trim(txtname.text) & " '"
' ds = New DataSet()
' da = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(Str, conn)
' da.fill(ds)
' If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0) Then
' MessageBox("Record Found")
' 'u can also fetch data from this dataset aslo
' Else
' MessageBox("No Record Found")
' End If
' End Sub
'End Class

Your where statement is incorrect. SELECT * FROM Design_Parameters WHERE ParameterValue = txtName.text, not where all 3 columns equal it. If you want to search all 3 columns you would use OR. However, you should look into SQL Injections because anyone who knows a little bit of SQL could use your application to delete your database or steal data.

One way is to replace the ' but using parameters is better.

Joy1979 10-Dec-12 11:17am

If Not IsDbNull(strValue) Then
If intLevel > 0 Then
strValue = replace(strValue, "'", "''")
strValue = replace(strValue, "--", "")
strValue = replace(strValue, "[", "[[]")
strValue = replace(strValue, "%", "[%]")
End If

If intLevel > 1 Then
Dim myArray As Array
myArray = Split("xp_ ;update ;insert ;select ;drop ;alter ;create ;rename ;delete ;replace ", ";")
Dim i, i2, intLenghtLeft As Integer
For i = LBound(myArray) To UBound(myArray)
Dim rx As New Regex(myArray(i), RegexOptions.Compiled Or RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim matches As MatchCollection = rx.Matches(strValue)
i2 = 0
For Each match As Match In matches
Dim groups As GroupCollection = match.Groups
intLenghtLeft = groups.Item(0).Index + len(myArray(i)) + i2
strValue = Left(strValue, intLenghtLeft - 1) & " " & right(strValue, len(strValue) - intLenghtLeft)
i2 += 5
Next
Next
End If

Solution 1

Your problem is within sql sintaxe as you can't compare that way at where clause.

try to change your code to this :

VB

Private Sub Searchbtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Searchbtn.Click
            Dim str as string = ""
            Str = "Select DesignID From Design_Parameters Where ParameterValue='" & Trim(txtname.text) & "'"
            ds = New DataSet()
            da = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(Str, conn)
            da.fill(ds)
            If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0) Then
                MessageBox("Record Found")
                'u can also fetch data from this dataset aslo
            Else
                MessageBox("No Record Found")
            End If
        End Sub

Hi, Thank you for your help. I need to display data in a from by using DesignID. (In text box when I enter DesignID like, AB12345) It should return records from table.) Am I missing anything in Select Query? When I try to load form and enter DesignID in Text box, Nothing is happening but screen gets stuck and then I need to start task manager to cancel it. Any try/catch would help?

Joy1979 10-Dec-12 12:17pm

My code is like this:

Private Sub Searchbtn_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Searchbtn.Click

Dim str As String = ""
Dim ds = New DataSet
Dim da = New SqlDataAdapter

str = "Select DesignID From Design_Parameters Where ParameterValue='" & Trim(TextBox4.Text) & "'"
ds = New DataSet()
da = New SqlClient.SqlDataAdapter(str, conn)
da.Fill(ds)
If (ds.Tables(0).Rows.Count > 0) Then
MessageBox.Show("Record Found")
'u can also fetch data from this dataset aslo

Else
MessageBox.Show("No Record Found")
End If

End Sub

This is a second question of yours, isn't it ? I provided a solution for the first one.

_Vitor Garcia_ 10-Dec-12 12:21pm

Now you managed to get DesignID in ds.tables(0).rows object.
You could select the records you want to show from that other table by DesignID.
